Noise

You cant spell crap with out RAP! This shit does my head in, clever non the less but i guess with all the free time these chavs get whilst on benefits spose they need some thing to pass the hours of their useless presence on this earth lol

Well i guess this is an introduction (just now in the new people section) so i will chip in. The dragstar are not the "best" bike in the corners, im for ever either touching down the foot pegs or my ankle on most twisty roads. 0-100 times................well your still be timing it next decade as they don't really get to 100mph. As for Bobber parts, there are tons of aftermarket parts for the 650 you just have to look in the right places but remember what a bobber is.............a stripped down motorcycle that has every piece of useless shit taken off, just have enough stuff on it to pass the MOT and thats all you need. Also you may find your self making your own stuff from sheet metal or what not if you want that one off look and not the look of a bike that ridden through the high way hawk catalog.

Um. Im not sure really, lots of very nice bikes out there and I think I would just have to have one bike for each day of the month! But just for shits and giggles think id get a Y2k bike lol. Jet engine with two wheels.......... .yer id go red neck for that! Lol

Just tell your mum she can watch n im sure that will be good enough :-D Just thinking bout it, go onto billy's web site, and your see all his bikes n his WLM bobber is on there.

Sorry sacha im afraid I got dibs on your dads flat head! Im gunna marry him just so I get it lol. I will try n get you a pick of billys bobber but im at home sick at the mo, got chest infection but as I have bad back the coughing is doing me in.

@Paul. Yer I think it would be best to have this how to section only avalible to paid members etc. But also to stop us over loading the server make sure people dont post the same thing twice but instead if some one has a better way or different way they can simply just add a reply to it like a normal post.? And no I never got into school boy slang lol

Well i got bored after 5 mins and i spotted two things that would have buggered your day off if you wasn't switched on. 1:57 a car driver (silver pug) doing the normal thing of not indicating and most likely not using his/her mirror and pulled across the next land thus meaning if you where a little faster or watching someones mirror in case you hit it then you'd be brown bread 3.44 Woman crossing road where you would have only just spotted her and the last min (if you was going faster) as your vision is blocked by other car drivers. Not bollocking your riding mate and i see that to make any progress in London this Skill needs to be put into use.........Just stay alert and don't switch off! don't Matter how many years you been riding or what not, If a car driver wants you off then thats it.

Shit! now thats why i would never jump out of a perfectly good plan thats going to land!

FORA????? what the hell dose that mean? lol

If i was to get a Harley i would either have a Shovel head Dyna or if i was rich id get an old WW2 WLM and bob it! check out Billy Lanes WLM bobber! so basic yet its every thing a bike should ever need!

Straight through pipes, few blips of throttle before you start up normally is the best two fingered fuck off ive ever given!

Well here is an example on how i mean, (i got the idea when i was a member of the MR2 owners group) http://www.mr2oc.co.uk/know-your-2-knowledge-base.html Just click on the type of MR2 you had and it then goes into sub sections eg Engine, wheels etc and then into more sub sections for all the common probs people have had and how they have sorted it out the good old DIY way. Well im not sure where to go from here now? lol................. Any ideas?

Have you checked the bulb? simple thing really but normally one thats over looked. (Not trying to say you a thick shit)

Save up as much as poss as Harleys are not cheap. (to buy or to maintain) Expect it to be temperamental as well

Hey guys, Just a thought, Do you think we could or if its a good idea to have a "How to" section of the forum? Like a written out DIY list of how to do things to the bikes? EG how to remove the fuel tank from a Draggy etc. I mean it will save people having to write the same old thing all the time and just gives peeps soming thing to print out and could show short cuts or things that we have learned thats not in a manwell!? Just a thought?

Try Wemoto.com mate, they are brilliant! http://www.wemoto.co...rag_star/97-04/ They sell the fuel pump £100 or a fuel pump repair kit! £23 O and its a pain in the arse to get out, fuel tank off, carbs off, air filter off, plastic covers over the ignition barrel off, un plug front cylinder HT lead, un do bolts holding the fuel pump cradle, then slide it out through the top of the frame. Jobs a bobby!

I got a set of Bar end ones that i modified to fit where the mirrors should go. Check out black betty in this section (gallery) As for the badges, yer they are just stuck on and is many was to take them off, the way i did it was to get some fishing line and ran it behind the badge the removed the foam sticky stuff with meth spirits. You could also steal the wife's hair dryer and warm it up first then is will pull off easier. O and one more thing.....................Get shot of the pillion pegs too.....looks like you wont be needing them

Looking a lot better mate! personally id get shot of them wing mirrors for a small over taking mirror and de-badge her as well. Keep it up.

Harley's are a good bike (not great) word of warning, your either spend your week end polishing the chrome or fixing the faults with them, but when you get the chance to ride it on its good day your love it! Its a tinkering bike.

If an exhaust says "not for road use" on it then its basically not for road use.....(funny that)........but if an exhaust DONT say this then.............well its must be for road use So go out and get a set you like that you can afford, ive not had any probs with my pipes yet and they come with a free hearing check every week lol

This is what i have got on my XVS 650 but not sure if the 1300 has carbs or if its injection?

I will check my bank account tomorrow n see ive been paid then will order mine

Well done chatrider2 your only 6 years late with your reply.

TA DA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18146326

Well there is a little black box in where the battery is which could be a type of ECU? i "think" all these new EU laws that have been proposed is only effecting brand new bike as of when that EU law comes in (if it does) so think the bikes before that date are exempt. (again thats an "I THINK") also i know that the gov are planning or have approved that all cars and bikes over 20 years old no longer need an MOT
